University of Toronto Computer Science Graduate School Admission Results

I reached out to a professor last year whose work matched my interest. I had no research experience and my schools were all online. Ever since that day I've been working with his lab. Final masters GPA not computed as yet, currently stands around 3.75 but will likely increase to 3.8-3.9 by the end of my masters

Received an acceptance to the MScAC program. technical interview happened on 22nd April. Stats- 9.01 GPA from a not-so-well-known uni in India. 1 conference paper in Springer (co-author), 1.5 YoE in an MNC, 2 internships, No GRE.

I contacted the PI prior and got really positive feedback, applied and got no news until rejection in portal. I personally feel betrayed since I could not even afford the application fee (international student). I feel now they generally say apply to "everyone" to they can make enough money (otherwise, I spend days preparing/talking to them, the least they could do was to explain my rejection in more details). I mean, you know my application quality, why bother giving hope to those who are barely holding and not even privileged enough to apply to many schools (due to application fee). Ngl, I just want to say fuck you UofT.
